I have always liked Bloomfield's pylons marching across the landscape which utterly transformed life in the UK between 1926 amd 1939 but then I always liked mining headstocks, Battersea Power Station and the Drax cooling towers. |

The art designs are really attractive, and could make a difference if they were interspersed between the tradional design. |

My family think I'm mad but I like pylons, wind turbines and chimney pots! |

Pylons result in 'rent' being paid to the owner of the space they stand on - or, at least, that was so in my farming time. |

They're still monsters, but a lot more pleasing to the eye. |
